I am a 35 year venture capital and private equity veteran who applied the tools of that profession to a portfolio of for- and non-profit activities. My portfolio has ranged from raw start-ups through growth stage and large/public companies to various social enterprises. I have served on a range of public and private boards in the technology, education, telecommunications, and life sciences sectors, in the United States and abroad. Several of those enterprises have had transformative impact on their sectors.I have been centrally responsible for investing over $400 million of equity capital, which has produced realized returns over $2.1 billion. Capital loss has been infrequent - over 95% of investments have generated positive returns. Salmon River Capital generated top decile returns over the 20 year life of the firm. Having wound down the firm's portfolio I remain engaged in the VC/PE markets on a personal basis and continue in a variety of advisory roles. Simultaneously, i've begun to return to my academic roots at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business - teaching a course in the ethics and social responsibility vertical (Winter Term 2024 - Moral Reasoning: From Sophocles to Machiavelli to The Bomb) and contributing to Tuck's Center for Private Equity and Venture Capital.
